Power up your students' mind with innovative teaching
Climate emergency, lack of resources, energy crisis: what can the citizens of the future do to face the challenges of the present? Empower them with critical thinking skills with our fully-funded education programme!
Power your Future is a 10-hour educational course created to prepare Gen Z students with the required skills to tackle the most complex problems of our time. It does this by helping them analyze data, interpret information and develop solid arguments.
The course equips teachers with tools to discuss current affairs, such as the energy crisis and lack of resources, in an understandable and engaging way thanks to didactic activities using Role Play and Debate in the classroom.
How does it work?
POWER YOUR PROGRAMME
The course can be integrated into the Civic Education curriculum as an in-depth analysis of Objective 7 of the 2030 Agenda, “Ensure clean and accessible energy for all “. Students will discover the major sources of clean energy using infographics, flashcards, graphs and digital resources.
Power your Future also lends itself to a multidisciplinary approach: it enhances your students’ data analysis skills and helps them deepen their knowledge of physics and science while developing argumentative writing and speaking skills.
POWER YOUR TRAINING
Join a digital community to meet colleagues, share experiences and best practices. You will be able to access training materials, the Teacher’s Manual and a guide to learn how to train students’ critical thinking using Role Play and Debate methodologies. You will also have WeSchool tutors in all phases of the course for technical and pedagogical support.
POWER YOUR STUDENTS
Choose between two missions. In “Power your Future”, students test their analytical and reasoning skills through Role Play and Debate activities. In “From science to soft skills”, students learn to analyze information and data using a scientific method, as well as develop their communication skills and immerse themselves in collaborative activities.
The students’ missions
In the first mission, students put themselves in the shoes of the leaders of fictional countries. Why? So they collaborate with peers through a role-playing game. During the role-play, students analyze information to write a proposal for a new energy policy. They end up working together to overcome contingencies and challenges while ensuring enough resources are available for citizens.
In the second mission, students engage in a debate. As members of a city science committee, they argue about the clean energy sources that will set their future in motion. In teams, they develop an effective strategy to defend their motion and convince the jury … with arguments!
